Step 1

Is Medical Marijuana Right for You?

Since Michigan voters approved the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act in 2008, thousands of patients have found a safe, legal alternative for many ailments that traditional medicine has fallen short of effectively treating without the risk of adverse, often harmful side-effects. Medical marijuana has been found to be effective in treating nausea, improving appetite and helpful for pain relief.

Although medical marijuana can be effective for many ailments, the law provides access to medical marijuana only for a specific list of conditions.

The department shall accept a written petition from any person requesting that a particular medical condition or treatment be included in the list of debilitating medical conditions under R 333.101.

Step 2

Understand the Law

Michigan residents with approved conditions (or their caregivers) can apply to the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program (MMMP) for a Registry ID card, valid for 2 years.

The application must include a Physician Certification form, completed and signed by a Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery who is fully licensed by the State of Michigan. The state also requires a bonafide patient/doctor relationship. We require our patients to follow up yearly.

An ID card provides protections for the medical use of marijuana, but there are still rules and laws to follow. By staying legal and following the laws provided, not only do you protect your right to safely use medical marijuana, but you also help keep it legal for others.

Step 3

Make an appointment

Our physicians are licensed and board certified professionals. We will take care of all of your paperwork and make sure your application process is as easy as possible. We do require you to bring in documentation of your condition for our records at the day of your appointment.
